McKay’s spirit, along with his dream-inspired imagery, lives on through Nytra, whose remarkable debut taps into the same unearthly environment with a similarly enchanting effect.The extraordinarily delicate and fine-lined art incorporates touches of manga aesthetic so that, like the story itself, it merges timeless narrative elements to craft something wonderfully innovative. Winsor McKay was a comics pioneer whose early experimentation with the form nearly predated the form itself. His cavalcade of dreamscapes is a rich and beguiling experience that deserves multiple immersions. The intricate flowerings and soulfully etched forest backgrounds of the art make the black-and-white pages sing as though they were drawn in a rainbow of colors.To stick the landing, Nytra’s serene ending manages to be worthy of its glorious beginning. Or you could just enjoy the story on its own merits. It could be a great way to introduce kids to masterpieces of the past.
